Protesters Closed Main Exits from Manhattan

CBS News New York reports:

Demonstrators took to the streets all around Manhattan, clashing with police officers, in a the second night of protests a day after a Staten Island grand jury decided not to indict a police officer in the death of Eric Garner. 

When the protests began early Thursday evening, a crowd of a few hundreds morphed into an estimated 10,000 protesters in Foley Square in Lower Manhattan. 

... The protesters moved on in several directions afterward. One group headed to the West Side Highway near West 10th Street, shutting down the highway for the second night in a row; it was reopened around 9 p.m. 

Tensions rose during rush hours, as commuters on the West Side Highway yelled at the protesters to go away. 

Another group marched across the Brooklyn Bridge, which police shut down completely afterward. 

... And at the Staten Island Ferry Terminal at Bowling Green, protesters knocked down barricades and a few of them clashed with police. One person was seen punching an officer, while another was seen swinging a sign. 

... Protests were also held in Union Square, on other East River bridges, and at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. And the demonstrators continued late into the night, with heated confrontations and several arrests at 42nd Street and Seventh Avenue in Times Square just before 11 p.m. 

Protesters were still going well after midnight. At 12:15 a.m., they were seen marching between cars down busy 53rd Street in Midtown.

Weasel Zippers has photos of protesters closing down the Staten Island Ferry, Holland Tunnel, Brooklyn Bridge, West Side Highway, and Grand Central Terminal. For those of you living in effected areas, take note of what areas are being closed down--these same areas could be closed down in other protests or riots.
